The cord of a circle that contains the center of that circle is a diameter of that circle.
The diameter of a circle is its largest chord
That's a 'chord' of a circle. If the chord happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's called a 'diameter', and no chord of the same circle can be longer.
a secant of a circle
It's called a "chord" of the circle. If it happens to go through the center of the circle,then it's also called a "diameter" of the circle, and no other chord in the same circlecan be longer.

Diameter
The length of a chord that contains the center of the circle
No, the cord of a circle does not have to go through the center of that circle. A chord that does go through the center of a circle is a special case and is called the diameter. A chord can connect any two points on a circle.

a secant of a circle
Any chord of a circle that contains the center of the circle is a diameter of that circle.Just two things now. We'll say that the chord of a circle that passes through the center is the longest chord of that circle, but you've probably already figured that out. Additionally, we'll say that there are an infinite number of chords that can be drawn through the center of a circle. Now you're armed and ready to continue your investigation in geometry.

A chord is any line segment that connect two points of a circle. If a chord passes through the center of the circle it is called the DIAMETER of the circle. The diameter of any circle is the longest chord of that circle as well.
